About the game
Dark Chess breaks away from traditional chess rules, offering an asymmetric puzzle-strategy experience built around a fog-of-war mechanic. Players work through a story-driven campaign featuring traps, custom-built boards, and historical rulers who don't play by the usual rules. Victory depends on stealth, carefully weighed risks, and the ability to outthink the unknown. The game is developed by Tall Troll Games and published by both Tall Troll Games and Hawthorn Games in 2023.
